Changes/Updates PassPorter's Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line
(fifth
edition, released January 2007) These updates were current as of 2/20/2007.
Visit:
http://www.passporter.com/customs/bookupdates.htm again for the most recent list of book updates.
Reminder: These updates do not include every new thing aboard
the Disney Cruise Line as that would require an entirely new book to explain
(and, yes, we will have a sixth edition in January 2008)! Instead, this chart
only lists the pages in PassPorter's Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line
that would be out-of-date or incorrect without this information. |

Update Description |
|
|
Disney Cruise Line announced the special summer itineraries for 2008 and it's back to California for the Disney Magic! There will be a 15-night Panama Canal repositioning cruise followed by 12 seven-night Mexican Riviera itineraries and a 15-night Panama Canal repositioning cruise for the return to Port Canaveral, Florida. The itineraries are very similar to the 2005 West Coast cruises. |

New Disney cruise ships coming in 2011 and 2012.
In a
press release, company President and CEO Bob Iger announced that the
company has signed a letter of intent with
Meyer Werft Shipyards of Germany to build two, 122,000-ton ships, each
with room for 4,000 guests (Disney’s current ships are each 83,000-ton/2,400
guests). The first of the two, as yet unnamed ships will be delivered in 2011,
and the second will arrive in 2012. For more information, our thoughts on the expansion, and an artist rendition of the new ships, please visit http://www.passporter.com/articles/disney-cruise-line-new-ships.asp. |

Disney Cruise Line has a new line of buses for guests that require transfer from the resort to the port (and vice versa). The new buses resemble the ship with the same paint scheme and porthole windows on each side. |
